Whilst there remain uncertainties arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, progress continues in combatting the virus under the vaccination programme in our major markets and our good operational performance underlines our overall confidence in the full year guidance.
Air, Maritime, Electronic Systems and Intelligence and Security continue to perform strongly and there is positive momentum in Platforms & Services (US). Combat vehicle production across multiple platforms continues to ramp and is on track to meet agreed delivery schedules, and US ship repair performance is improving following COVID-19 and other disruptions experienced last year. Applied Intelligence has had a good start to the year with improved performance together with realised benefits from the restructuring.

High-temperature technologies enable electrothermal storage systems for large amounts of energy from renewable sources. Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), the German Aerospace Center (DLR), and the industry partner KSB have now launched the LIMELISA project to develop the necessary basis. Research is funded with EUR 3.8 million by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy.
Every year, wind parks and solar facilities in Germany produce thousands of gigawatt hours of power that cannot be used directly and therefore remain unused. At other times, lacking capacities are compensated by energy from fossil sources. Large-scale electrothermal storage systems may solve this problem and additionally enhance grid stability. The idea is to c

“As our state takes appropriately aggressive measures to stem the tide of a disease with outsize potential to spread and harm our citizens, we must include provisions to assist families at increased risk of losing power, water and sewer service,” DeAnn Walker, the utility commission chairwoman at the time, said.
But no state money was dedicated to promoting the program to the general public; utility customers not on a special low-income list
were responsible for requesting the relief. And behind the scenes, lobbyists for utilities and trade associations were meeting with state officials in an attempt to hollow out the program.
